Board of Directors (BOD) election - overview

The role and responsibilities of AFRINIC's Board of Directors is defined in Sections 13, 14 and 15 of the Bylaws as an oversight body that acts on behalf of the members while guiding the actions and decisions of the Management team.

Meeting bi-monthly, by teleconference or face-to-face, the members of the Board establish the basis for the AFRINIC budget and consider broad Internet policy issues in order to ensure that AFRINIC policies and strategies respond to the constantly changing Internet environment.

We strongly encourage all AFRINIC members to participate in the Board election process.
